Hi welcome Friends to my new mystery story! I'm excited for this one! I don't really know what else to say except read and review! Also if your just tuning in go check out my other story Second Chances!
Disclaimer: Don't own BTR sadly =( The only think I own is my BTR blanket thats on my bed right now. =)
*Full Summary- With BTR's demos being picked and Meredith's 2nd album almost ready for release both the boys and her have been working nonstop. After being trapped in the studio for days they decide to take a much needed break without Gustavo and Kelly knowing, But happens when Kendall and Meredith's brilliant plan to spilt up to get past freight train goes wrong and two of the five teens don't show up at the meeting place?
Meredith Rocque and the boys of Big Time Rush were sitting on the couch at Rocque Records. Gustavo had just finished yelling at them yet again about their up coming albums. The pressure to get both albums ready for release is starting to get to everyone and being trapped in the studio for the past four days isn't helping matters at all.
"Ugh I'm tired of staring at these walls!" James complained shifting around on the couch.
"You and everyone else here. Why couldn't Gustavo let us go back to the PalmWoods while he fixes the song!" Kendall added throwing his hands up in frustration.
" Because Griffin is driving him crazy so he insist on driving us crazy too." Meredith replies stretching out her legs over Kendall's lap.
Over the past three months Meredith has gotten close with all the boys but more so with Kendall. Sure James and her flirt constantly but she and Kendall have more of a brother, sister bond. They're both devious, love pissing Gustavo off, and are master plan makers. Logan, James, and Carlos have started calling her Kendall's female counter part. Kendall smiles at Meredith's legs on his lap because he knows every second of it is pissing James off.
Just then Gustavo's, usually perky, assistant Kelly came out of Gustavo's office not looking happy at all.
"Hey guys I'm heading out for burgers and fries, candy, sodas, and anything else I can find to keep you going. It looks like were gonna be here awhile." Kelly told them. The five teens groaned.
"I know guys, but hang in there. Is there anything you'd like to add to the list?"
"Instead of getting candy and soda get Gatorade." Logan stated kinda surprising everyone since he's usually very shy around Kelly.
"Gatorade?"
"Yup you said you wanted to get stuff to keep us going right? Well candy and sodas will work for a short time, but will eventually cause us to crash, whereas Gatorade has electrolytes that will do the same thing without the crash." He made it sound like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Well thank you Doctor Mitchel. I'll stock up on Gatorade then," Kelly replied making Logan blush, " Anything else?"
"Oo oo Kelly can you stock up on Fruit Smackers too?" Carlos asked excitedly.
"Sure thing Carlos. I'll be back in an hour or so behave yourselves please." Kelly said walking away.
As soon as Kelly was out of ear shot Meredith and Kendall looked at each other and smiled.
"You thinking what I'm thinking Kendork?" She asked using her favorite nickname for him. Wayne Wayne was actually of some use even though he almost got Kendall kicked out of the band.
" If you're thinking we break out of here and enjoy a much needed break at the park down the street. Then yes. Yes I am." He returned her devious smile.
"Well the park wasn't what I was thinking, but I like it!" She replied. The two of them are so alike it's scary sometimes.
"Oh no we'll get caught and then Gustavo will make us do ten hours of harmonies with no breaks again!" Logan interjected.
"Oh calm down and quit being so pessimistic. It's not like were going to rob a bank or something. We're just going to the park." Kendall stated obviously annoyed. He turned to James and Carlos. "What about you two, are you in or out?"
" In!" They shouted at the same time. Logan rolled his eyes.
"Aren't you forgetting Freight Train is right down stairs? How do you propose we get past him?" He asked knowing he shouldn't have when he saw the smirks on Kendall and Meredith's faces.
"Simple we split up and cause a distraction." Meredith stated deviously sharing a look with Kendall.
"Meredith and I will go down the elevator and act like we're just stretching our legs. While we're doing that you guys will create a crash up here. Carlos you're in charge of that. When Freight Train leaves to see what the crash was we'll bolt out the front door. Soon as we're sure he's off the first floor we'll text you guys to come down the stairs." Kendall explained. It was an impressive plan for the amount of time it took to come up with it.
"Wait why does Meredith get to go with you?" James asked narrowing his eyes at his best friend. Sure she wasn't his girlfriend yet, but that didn't mean he liked her being alone with Kendall.
"Two reasons," Kendall replied holding up to fingers, " One you three can't keep your cool to save your lives, and two if you and Meredith go missing at the same time, well you know what Gustavo would do."
They all cringed. Gustavo had made it perfectly clear that he didn't like James and he was to stay away from his niece. However he said nothing about Kendall having to stay away from her.
"Ok point taken. Lets just get this plan into action so we can get out of here for awhile." James stated not wanting to get think about what Gustavo might do if he were ever catch himself and Meredith alone.
Meredith and Kendall headed over to the elevator. Kendall hit the button and turned to Carlos. "Remember five minutes Carlos then make the crash."
Carlos nodded as Kendall and Meredith got on the elevator. After traveling down three floors they stepped out in the lobby of Rocque Records. Freight Train immediately noticed the two teens getting out of the elevator. He smiled despite himself. He'd never admit it but he grown attached to Meredith and the boys over the past three months. He watched Meredith and Kendall walk around the lobby talking softly to each other. Freight Train knew they were all a little stir crazy and couldn't help but wonder if they were up to something. Suddenly there was a loud crash above them. They all looked up. What in the world did Carlos just do up there?
"You two didn't have anything to do with that did ya?" Freight Train asked as he past them on his way to elevator.
"No. I just hope if that was Carlos he was wearing his helmet." Meredith replied trying not giggle.
"Me too." Freight Train laughed as he got on the elevator. As soon as the door closed Meredith and Kendall dashed out the front door and up the street toward the park. Once they were about halfway there they slowed down out of breath and laughing.
"I think we better text them now." Kendall said still trying to catch his breath.
" Nah let them suffer a little longer." Meredith snickered, " Besides when was the last time we spent time together just us?"
"It's been awhile hasn't it?" Kendall agreed as they kept walking. Little did they know they might be spending more time together than they knew. Unbeknownst to them a black van had been following them since they had left Rocque Records.
When they reached the park Meredith pulled out her iPhone, messed with it, and started playing BTR's newest song Halfway There.
"You already have our new song on your phone?" Kendall questioned as Meredith danced ahead of him.
"Well I uh I kinda recorded you guys singing it in the studio the other day." Meredith admitted rather shyly. Kendall laughed and joined her in dancing around while he sang along to his solo. Suddenly he was grabbed from behind. Before he could scream out something was jammed up against his face. The last thing he saw before losing consciousness was Meredith's phone flying out of her hand as she too was grabbed.
Meanwhile back at the studio Logan, James, and Carlos more then mad at their friends. Not only had they almost gotten caught by Freight Train but Kendall and Meredith hadn't text them yet.
"I bet they ditched us so they could be alone together." said Carlos who was playing a game on his phone.
"No they didn't." Logan and James both replied, James with a little bitterness in his voice.
"Then why haven't they texted us yet!" Carlos snapped.
"I don't know," Logan sighed running his hands through his hair, " Lets just go down stairs. If Freight Train is gone we'll go on to the park." James and Carlos looked at Logan like he had grown a second head.
"What? I want out of this place as much as you do."
The three remaining members of BTR made their way down the stairs. They had no idea what kind of trouble their two friends were in. As they headed down the stairs Logan couldn't shake the uneasy feeling he was getting. Maybe something really was wrong. Why didn't they text them? If they had gotten caught Freight Train would have brought them back up stairs to quick to talk about. Logan pulled out his phone and texted Kendall "Where are you guys?" When he looked up James was texting also, more than likely Meredith.
Once they reached the final landing they exchanged a look before James crept up to the door. He stuck his head out and looked around Freight Train was nowhere to be seen.
"The coast is clear." James whispered motioning Carlos and Logan forward. They all dashed out the front door and like Kendall and Meredith before them didn't stop until they were halfway to the park. While they stopped to catch their breaths Logan checked his phone. No new messages.
"Huh that's strange." Logan said as he checked his sent messages to see if his original message had gone through. It had.
"What is?" Carlos asked trying to ignore the concern in Logan's voice.
"Kendall never texted me back and it's been almost ten minutes." Logan stated eyes never leaving his phone. James quickly pulled his phone out and checked it.
"Meredith never texted me back either." James and Logan shared a look.
"Why don't you try calling them?" Carlos asked looking between is two friends.
Both James and Logan nodded. They hit send at the same time and at the same time their faces fell when they got their friends voicemails.
"No answer." Logan and James said simultaneously.
"Maybe there's a dead zone at the park." Carlos said trying to sound hopeful.
"Not likely Carlos but none the less we need to check the park before we run back to the studio in full blown panic mode." Logan replied hoping his brain was over reacting to the unanswered phone call. Kendall always answers on the second ring and Meredith always text James right back. Logan was brought out of his thoughts by James' voice. He looked around he was so lost in thought that his feet had brought him to the park without his mind realizing it.
"What were saying James?" Logan asked slightly confused.
"I was saying they aren't here and maybe we should try calling them again." James replied not hiding the concern in his voice. Something wasn't right and they could all feel it. Call it their spidy sense from knowing each other since they were 4 if you will. Logan started to raise his phone to his ear when Carlos stopped him and pointed to the phone against his ear. After a minute Carlos put the phone down and shook his head. No one said a word as James called Meredith's phone. That's when they heard it a few yards away from where they were standing. The ringtone Meredith had set for James.
Here I am there you are why does it seem so far
next to you is where I should be
"It's coming from over there!" Logan pointing to some bushes not far from them, "James call it again."
He did so as they ran to the bushes. The song grew louder as they neared the bushes. They looked around franticly and there was Meredith's iPhone lying on the ground blasting James' voice. The boy's eyes widen.
"Is that blood?"
I'm evil for ending this chapter like that I know! but don't worry chapter 2 is in the works right now! Also I'm looking at review button right now and it looks pretty lonely over there *hint hint*
